Led by NATHALIE AGAR, the focus areas of the IMAGING CANCER HETEROGENEITY TRD are:
- Integrating mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of tissue metabolism, MRI, and histopathology for the assessment of brain tumor heterogeneity.
- New diffusion imaging sequences to characterize cell architecture traits in prostate cancer.
- New MRI pulse sequence for blood oxygenation mapping that accelerates acquisition speed more than ten-fold, without sacrificing volume coverage.
